Earlier today I met with Nerys Watts, the Head of Heritage Lottery Fund in the South West at Westminster to discuss several potential local projects. These included Paignton Parish Church, Paignton Picture House, Torquay Museum and Oldway Mansion.
Overall a productive discussion on several areas of funding which might benefit future schemes in our bay. In relation to Oldway Mansion we discussed how one funding scheme allows the HLF to subsidise development to ensure a heritage asset is protected.
